Analytic Dice. It's more about looking at the mechanics of existing systems than how to create your own, but they do deep dives into the stuff under the hood, and are very entertaining to listen to.

The Golden Fez Awards for tabletop RPGs are being presented by TotalCon and Solarian Games for the first time at TotalCon on February 22, 2025. Nominations are open now through Dec. 31st at Home - The Golden Fez Awards We're presenting the awards in memorial of James Carpio, Solarian...

So presumably, since it's only TSR LLC that is filing for bankruptcy, Justin would still have to pay Wizards the million dollars if they win the court case against him, right? Since the case was filed against TSR LLC, The Dungeon Hobby Shop Museum, and Justin personally. Could the bankruptcy...

Don't feel bad for Ernie. He was complicit in this from the very beginning, and knew what he was getting into. His hands aren't clean - he helped Justin steal the trademark, screwed over the guy who had the original idea for the museum, and backed Justin through all the bigotry and horrible...

Since you just joined today to post this silly attack on Morrus, I gotta wonder if this is a sockpuppet account from one of the NuTSR people.

The site has evidence showing it is him. It uses the same name he uses for all his social media (@DaveFilmsUS) and he posted both photos of himself and videos of himself which aren't posted anywhere else.

You're right. There are tweets from Dave Johnson praising the alt-right terrorist who rammed their car into the crowd at Charlottesville and killed someone, tweets "jokingly" showing a mother drowning her child for being transgender, talking about killing "homosexuals," even saying dialysis...

This certainly puts more context on the video that @Jedion357 posted above. Without knowing the background of the creator, the dog whistles in Star Frontiers New Genesis might be explained away. When you see into the mind of the author, it really changes things. Calling out a few notable dog...

It's a ripoff of Alarums & Excursions, the original RPG zine. Lee Gold started it in 1975 and as far as I know she still publishes it to this day. Total legend in the world of gaming, kind of uncool to make something with such a confusingly similar name.

Tenkar's Tavern breaks down what happened.

Looks like Alarms & Journeys just got itself in some hot water. Everyone from Luke Gygax to Tim Kask is speaking out against them. https://www.tenkarstavern.com/2022/04/dave-johnson-games-knows-alarms.html

The Gygax credit is probably Ernie, with the "Jr" conveniently omitted, and his name written incorrectly. They sure are putting his name on anything they can, huh. As for Jim Holloway being credited, that is very worrying. I can't think of a legitimate reason for them to be using his work.
